Biology Pre-Lab Questions
Pre-lab questions:
1. Algae belong to what Kingdom?
They belong to the Kingdom Protista.
2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae, phaeophyta which are brown algae, and rhodophyta which are red algae.
3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs?
Algae are autotrophs.
4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize?
The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize.
Objective:
The goal of this lab is to identify and explore common features between organisms of the same kingdom.
Theoretical Background:
Plantlike Protists:
- commonly referred to as algae
- have organelles called chloroplasts
